GKD-C Spearman Rank Correlation [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope Spearman Rank Correlation is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Average Directional Index (ADX) as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Spearman Rank Correlation as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ Spearman Rank Correlation
What is Spearman rank correlation?
Spearman rank correlation, also known as Spearman coefficient is a formula used to identify the strength of the link between two datasets. This coefficient is a method that can be used to assess the strength of a relationship apart from the direction it takes. The formula, named after Charles Spearman, a mathematician, can only be used in circumstances where data can be categorized or put in order, for instance, the highest to the lowest.
For a better understanding of Spearman coefficient, it helps to get a sense of what monotonic function means. There’s a monotonic relationship under these circumstances:
– When the variable values rise together.
– When one variable value rises the other variable value lowers.
– The rate of movement of the variables need not necessarily be constant.
The Spearman correlation coefficient or rs , between +1 and -1, where +1 indicates a perfect strength between variables, while zero shows no association and -1 shows a perfect negative strength.
Spearman rank correlation theory:
A nonparametric (distribution-free) rank statistic proposed by Spearman in 1904 as a measure of the strength of the associations between two variables (Lehmann and D'Abrera 1998). The Spearman rank correlation coefficient can be used to give an R-estimate, and is a measure of monotone association that is used when the distribution of the data make Pearson's correlation coefficient undesirable or misleading.

█ Williams Precent Range
What is Williams Precent Range?
Williams %R, also known as the Williams Percent Range, is a type of momentum indicator that moves between 0 and -100 and measures overbought and oversold levels. The Williams %R may be used to find entry and exit points in the market. The indicator is very similar to the Stochastic oscillator and is used in the same way. It was developed by Larry Williams and it compares a stock’s closing price to the high-low range over a specific period, typically 14 days or periods.

█ Zero-Lag MACD
What is Zero-Lag MACD?
Moving average convergence divergence ( MACD ) is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of a security’s price. The MACD is calculated by subtracting the 26-period exponential moving average (EMA) from the 12-period EMA.
This version adds the ability to change the moving average to 60+ different moving averages. This is also Zero-lag which increases the speed at which MACD identifies trends.

█ Smooth Step
What is Smooth Step?
In many cases (computer graphics, machine learning, ta analysis) we need normalized values. Smooth step is one of the possible ways to do it
It belongs to the family of sigmoidal (clamping in this case, since this indicator, as is, is not used for interpolation) functions, and is producing a sub-set of what is the built in stochastic, except that I kept it in its original range of 0 to 1 and that it filters out some values that stochastic produces. Also, this indicator can use all the usual prices (not just the close/close or low/high/close)

Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Average Directional Index (ADX) as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Angle of Averages as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ Angle of Average
What is Angle of Averages?
The problem that people overlook when asking to calculate an angle of an average is simple: data on Y axes of a time series chart is different type from the data on X axis. Since they are completely different, the angle can not be calculated from that data. Unless you make them the compatible. Here is one possible solution: convert time into "pips" by using average true range as a value of a single time bar and that way unifies the values of X and Y axis. Using the ATR for that is an approximation (there is no 100% accurate method to do that), but it is not a bad approximation: at least it is not showing results of > 90 degrees.
This indicator uses the calculation method described above and is extended to be able to 60+ types of moving averages.

GKD-C LSX on LMA [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope LSX on LMA is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT

█ Aroon
What is Aroon?
The Aroon indicator is a technical indicator that is used to identify trend changes in the price of an asset, as well as the strength of that trend. In essence, the indicator measures the time between highs and the time between lows over a time period. The idea is that strong uptrends will regularly see new highs, and strong downtrends will regularly see new lows. The indicator signals when this is happening, and when it isn't.

GKD-C Trend Continuation Factor [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope Trend Continuation Factor is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends.
6. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Leader Exponential Moving Average as shown on the chart above
Volatility/Volume: Average Directional Index (ADX) as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Trend Continuation Factor as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Jurik Turning Point Oscillator
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

Reversal Pivot
Overview
Introducing the Reversal Pivot indicator - a tool for identifying potential reversal points in price. This algorithm takes into account multiple factors, including price action, volume, and pivot points, to give you a clear and accurate picture of where the market is heading to.
How it works
The indicator gets expansions and the highs and lows and uses the conditions along with pivots to determine whether a reversal is possible or not. Then it gets the volume to determine how strong this chance of reversal is.
How to use
The Reversal Pivot indicator alone shouldn't be used to find reversal points but it helps you get a clear insight on where possible reversals could happen for example, you could use it with mean reversion strategies to find the best entries.
Red bars signal a bearish reversal
Green bars signal a bullish reversal
This here is an example of a long entry if you are trading lets say the mean. You can wait for a bullish reversal on the Histogram plot and then enter, a reversal could happen.
This is an example of a short entry if you are also trading the mean.
Other features
This indicator allows you to customize the colors, and the histogram. If you don't like the histogram then you can change its plot style to whatever you would like.

[blackcat] L3 Jurik MACDLevel: 3
Background
Use Jurik MA to build MACD and many people need to judge the market trend against the main candlestick chart when using MACD .
Function
First of all, the MACD function is built with Jurik MA and ALMA for better performance.
Second, the principle of MACD is the difference between EMA's long-term and short-term values. So, I wonder if it is possible to use EMA to construct a set of candle charts that are similar in proportion to MACD values for overlapping comparisons? Because this can greatly facilitate traders to make quick trend judgments. So I used the 3-8 lines of EMA to simulate the KD of KDJ, constructed a set of candle charts, and generated buying and selling points through conditional constraints. Do you like this MACD + Candlestick chart?
Key Signal
Traditional Jurik MACD output signal
Candlesticks
Near Top --> Top is reached and reversal may happen soon. (fuchsia labels)
Near Bottom --> Bottom is reached and reversal may happen soon. (yellow labels)
Remarks
Feedbacks are appreciated.
Balance of Force (BOF)The script "Balance of Force" is an indicator that aims to provide insight into the bullish and bearish forces present in the market by analyzing the relationship between bullish and bearish true ranges. The indicator first calculates the bearish and bullish true ranges by taking the absolute difference between the open and close prices for each period and summing these values over a user-specified length. It then calculates the ratio of the bullish true range to the bearish true range and takes the natural logarithm of this value, resulting in the "bullish-bearish ratio".
The script then calculates the standard deviation of this ratio over a user-specified length to create a measure of volatility. Using this deviation and the dominant cycle, it then applies an exponential moving average to smooth the ratio. The indicator plots the smoothed ratio, the raw ratio, and the deviation of the ratio multiplied by 1, 2 and 3 in addition to filling the area between the deviation multiplied by 3 and the log(1) with red and green. The user can use the indicator to identify potential bullish or bearish market conditions by analyzing the relationship between the smoothed ratio and the log(1) and the deviation of the ratio.
Crypto Tipster v2 - Trend Oscillator---------------------
Crypto Tipster v2 - Trend Oscillator
Following on from the release of Crypto Tipster v2 toward the end of 2022, we've been working on a way to visually represent how our indicator works, so our members can utilize more tools and therefore make better informed trading decisions by setting up Crypto Tipster v2 more accurately to suit their individual trading needs.
Trend Oscillator is designed to work alongside Crypto Tipster v2 by providing an oscillating line graph between 0-100. This plot indicates the overall trend strength when all our Crypto Tipster algorithms combine and will help you understand the inherent movement behind the scenes within Crypto Tipster v2.
We have included options that have been previously unavailable within Crypto Tipster v2 - including:
- A variable threshold of trend strength before placing orders
- The ability to place orders when trend strength crosses the mid point of the oscillator (50)
- Placing orders when the trend oscillator detects a change in direction
As well as these options as listed above we've included a function to overlay a Moving Average onto the trend oscillator to help smooth out any potential whipsaw's and false moves. This is particularly helpful when combined with "placing orders on direction change" as listed. Numerous moving average options have been included which include (but are not limited to) SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, DEMA, TEMA, SMMA, Hull, ZEMA.. the list goes on!
We've been wanting to include several features like these and more within Crypto Tipster v2 for some time now, but have found it difficult to include these features without causing a certain amount of confusion over what they are, what they do, how they work and therefore what their benefits actually are - a few words and an input box just don't portray the message we need to get across when used solely within Crypto Tipster!
With "Trend Oscillator" we can now release all of these updates without concern of being mis-understood. The visual representation that this oscillator offers helpfully describes what we couldn't describe within Crypto Tipster v2 before.
This script is free to use for all, you don't even need to be a member of Crypto Tipster - however, those of you who are signed up with theCrypster will definately receive the biggest benefit from this script. Alerts are not available with our Trend Oscillator, as are "Buy", "Sell" or "Close" labels on the main chart.
We've got many more updates and add-ons planned for the coming weeks and months, stay tuned!
---------------------
We've tried to make Trend Oscillator as comprehensive and easy to understand as possible, we are however always in search of progression; we do really love to hear your feedback :)

Happy Trading Guys
supersignal oscilatorThis indicator shows you a special divergence which you can use them for getting the trend of chart and the base code of indicator is on ichimoku
these divergences are based on ichimoku
In LongTerm divergence, we calculate the difference between lead 1 and lead 2, and a graph is formed from their difference, by comparing the obtained graph and the candles, we find the divergence between them
In ShortTerm divergence, we calculate the difference between Conversion and Base, and a graph is formed from their difference, by comparing the obtained graph and the candles, we find the divergence between them
-The Accuracy Section has two options:
Default means that numbers are based on default numbers
when you choose golden,The indicator find a number automatic based on 3000 candle ago and put them on ichimoku numbers
in Line option you can choose the LongTerm Divergence or ShortTerm Divergence
in Ichi smooth we specify the number that we want to smooth LongTerm line or turn it to sma (Simple Moving Average)
in Ichi smooth we specify the number that we want to smooth ShortTerm line or turn it to sma (Simple Moving Average)
Signal Line is based on the same Signal Line on Macd
I hope you enjoy it :)

GKD-C Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum Confirmation is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend (such as "Baseline" shown on the chart above)
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This should agree with the "Baseline"
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This filters/verifies the trend identified by "Baseline" and "Confirmation 1"
5. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
6. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 module (Confirmation 1/2, Numbers 3 and 4 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Leader Exponential Moving Average as shown on chart
Volatility/Volume: Volatility Ratio as shown on chart
Confirmation 1: Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Jurik Turning Point Oscillator
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.
Now that you have a general understanding of the NNFX algorithm and the GKD trading system. Let's go over what's inside the GKD-E Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum itself.
What is Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum?
The Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum demonstrates smoother indicators and therefore gives fewer false signals in comparison with the traditional oscillator.
The indicator is written in accordance with the description given in the book by Joe Dinapoli "Trading With DiNapoli Levels". This oscillator smoothing method leads to a filtering of the most "noise" component of the price movement.
The Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum indicator can be used in the strategies oriented to a standard stochastic. However, the stronger smoothing can lead to the loss of an array of signals. It is recommended to apply any trend indicator for more efficient use of the indicator and its signals filtering.
Signals
A GKD-C Confirmation indicator can be used as either a Confirmation 1, Confirmation 2, or Solo Confirmation indicator. See step 3 & 4 of the NNFX algorithm above to understand how this indicator fits into the GKD trading system. The Solo Confirmation setting allows you to test this indicator by itself without an additional GKD-C indicator present in the GKD protocol chain.
On the chart shown above, this indicator is shown as GKD-C Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum and is set to Solo Confirmation. The GKD-B Baseline, GKD-V Volatility Ratio, and this indicator satisfy the first three steps in the GKD trading system chain: GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(solo).
The signals from each of these settings are as follows:
Confirmation 1 Signal
Initial Long (L): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crosses-up over middle-line*
Initial Short (S): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crosses-down under middle-line*
Continuation Long (CL): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum is over middle-line, then crosses-up over the signal**
Continuation Short (CS): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum is under middle-line, then crosses-down under the signal**
Post Baseline Cross Long (BL): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crossed-up over middle-line but Baseline is still in downtrend, then Baseline turns to uptrend within XX bars***
Post Baseline Cross Short (BS): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crossed-down under middle-line but Baseline is still in uptrend, then Baseline turns to downtrend within XX bars***
BL Recovery Continuation Long (RL): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum is above middle-line. Baseline already crossed down into downtrend, then baseline crosses back up to uptrend; then, Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crosses-up over the signal****
BL Recovery Continuation Short (RS): Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum is below middle-line. Baseline already crossed up into uptrend, then baseline crosses back down to downtrend; then, Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum crosses-down under the signal****
*All signals are shown regardless of Baseline and Volatility/Volume qualification
**All signals are shown regardless of Baseline qualification; however, when Baseline filter is active, only true continuations are shown. When the Baseline filter is not active, then all continuations are shown. True continuations are when the Baseline is active and maintains its uptrend/downtrend after the initial cross-up/cross-down over the middle-line respectively. This means that if the Baseline trend then moves against the Double Smoothed Stochastic of Momentum then any continuation signals are voided until another initial Long/Short. All continuations are will either show as regular continuations or be converted into recovery continuations
***All signals are shown regardless of Volatility/Volume qualification
****When the Baseline filter is active, some regular continuations are converted to recovery continuations and are shown. When the Baseline filter is not active, then these signals are not shown.

The Double Smoothed Stochastic demonstrates smoother indicators and therefore gives fewer false signals in comparison with the traditional oscillator.
The indicator is written in accordance with the description given in the book by Joe Dinapoli "Trading With DiNapoli Levels". This oscillator smoothing method leads to a filtering of the most "noise" component of the price movement.
The Double Smoothed Stochastic indicator can be used in the strategies oriented to a standard stochastic. However, the stronger smoothing can lead to the loss of an array of signals. It is recommended to apply any trend indicator for more efficient use of the indicator and its signals filtering.
Signals
A GKD-C Confirmation indicator can be used as either a Confirmation 1, Confirmation 2, or Solo Confirmation indicator. See step 3 & 4 of the NNFX algorithm above to understand how this indicator fits into the GKD trading system. The Solo Confirmation setting allows you to test this indicator by itself without an additional GKD-C indicator present in the GKD protocol chain.
On the chart shown above, this indicator is shown as GKD-C Double Smoothed Stochastic and is set to Solo Confirmation. The GKD-B Baseline, GKD-V Volatility Ratio, and this indicator satisfy the first three steps in the GKD trading system chain: GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(solo).
The signals from each of these settings are as follows:
Confirmation 1 Signal
Initial Long (L): Double Smoothed Stochastic crosses-up over middle-line*
Initial Short (S): Double Smoothed Stochastic crosses-down under middle-line*
Continuation Long (CL): Double Smoothed Stochastic is over middle-line, then crosses-up over the signal**
Continuation Short (CS): Double Smoothed Stochastic is under middle-line, then crosses-down under the signal**
Post Baseline Cross Long (BL): Double Smoothed Stochastic crossed-up over middle-line but Baseline is still in downtrend, then Baseline turns to uptrend within XX bars***
Post Baseline Cross Short (BS): Double Smoothed Stochastic crossed-down under middle-line but Baseline is still in uptrend, then Baseline turns to downtrend within XX bars***
BL Recovery Continuation Long (RL): Double Smoothed Stochastic is above middle-line. Baseline already crossed down into downtrend, then baseline crosses back up to uptrend; then, Double Smoothed Stochastic crosses-up over the signal****
BL Recovery Continuation Short (RS): Double Smoothed Stochastic is below middle-line. Baseline already crossed up into uptrend, then baseline crosses back down to downtrend; then, Double Smoothed Stochastic crosses-down under the signal****
*All signals are shown regardless of Baseline and Volatility/Volume qualification
**All signals are shown regardless of Baseline qualification; however, when Baseline filter is active, only true continuations are shown. When the Baseline filter is not active, then all continuations are shown. True continuations are when the Baseline is active and maintains its uptrend/downtrend after the initial cross-up/cross-down over the middle-line respectively. This means that if the Baseline trend then moves against the Double Smoothed Stochastic then any continuation signals are voided until another initial Long/Short. All continuations are will either show as regular continuations or be converted into recovery continuations
***All signals are shown regardless of Volatility/Volume qualification
****When the Baseline filter is active, some regular continuations are converted to recovery continuations and are shown. When the Baseline filter is not active, then these signals are not shown.

GKD-C DiNapoli Stochastic [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope DiNapoli Stochastic Confirmation is a Confirmation module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility. There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility; e.g., Average True Range, True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend (such as "Baseline" shown on the chart above)
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This should agree with the "Baseline"
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This filters/verifies the trend identified by "Baseline" and "Confirmation 1"
5. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
6. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 module (Confirmation 1/2, Numbers 3 and 4 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Leader Exponential Moving Average as shown on chart
Volatility/Volume: Volatility Ratio as shown on chart
Confirmation 1: DiNapoli Stochastic as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Jurik Turning Point Oscillator
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.
Now that you have a general understanding of the NNFX algorithm and the GKD trading system. Let's go over what's inside the GKD-E DiNapoli Stochastic itself.
What is DiNapoli Stochastic?
The DiNapoli Stochastic demonstrates smoother indicators and therefore gives fewer false signals in comparison with the traditional oscillator.
The indicator is written in accordance with the description given in the book by Joe Dinapoli "Trading With DiNapoli Levels". This oscillator smoothing method leads to a filtering of the most "noise" component of the price movement.
The DiNapoli Stochastic indicator can be used in the strategies oriented to a standard stochastic. However, the stronger smoothing can lead to the loss of an array of signals. It is recommended to apply any trend indicator for more efficient use of the indicator and its signals filtering.

A GKD-C Confirmation indicator can be used as either a Confirmation 1, Confirmation 2, or Solo Confirmation indicator. See step 3 & 4 of the NNFX algorithm above to understand how this indicator fits into the GKD trading system. The Solo Confirmation setting allows you to test this indicator by itself without an additional GKD-C indicator present in the GKD protocol chain.
On the chart shown above, this indicator is shown as GKD-C DiNapoli Stochastic and is set to Solo Confirmation. The GKD-B Baseline, GKD-V Volatility Ratio, and this indicator satisfy the first three steps in the GKD trading system chain: GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(solo).

3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This should agree with the "Baseline"
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends. This filters/verifies the trend identified by "Baseline" and "Confirmation 1"
5. Volatility/Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility/volume breakouts/breakdown.
6. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module (Volatility, Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility/Volume, Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 module (Confirmation 1/2, Numbers 3 and 4 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility/Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility/Volume. The Volatility/Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility, and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Volatility Ratio
Confirmation 1: Universal Oscillator as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 2: Vortex
Exit: Universal Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.
Now that you have a general understanding of the NNFX algorithm and the GKD trading system. Let's go over what's inside the GKD-E Universal Oscillator itself.
What is Universal Oscillator?
In his article, "Whiter is Brighter," Dr. Ehlers discusses that market data is akin to "pink noise" (a scientific term that refers to a type of noise where the power spectral density is stronger at lower frequencies). Isolating the white spectrum (whose power spectral density is the same at all frequencies) is said to output data that can be transformed into a zero-lag oscillator.
The isolation of the white spectrum data is done via a momentum-based equation. This data is further subjected to Ehlers Super Smoother so that undesirable wave components are eliminated. The filtered data is then transformed into an oscillator by using the automatic gain control algorithm.
What's different in this version?

Signals
A GKD-C Confirmation indicator can be used as either a Confirmation 1, Confirmation 2, or Solo Confirmation indicator. See step 3 & 4 of the NNFX algorithm above to understand how this indicator fits into the GKD trading system. The Solo Confirmation setting allows you to test this indicator by itself without an additional GKD-C indicator present in the GKD protocol chain.
On the chart shown above, this indicator is shown as GKD-C Universal Oscillator and is set to Solo Confirmation. The GKD-B Baseline, GKD-V Volatility Ratio, and this indicator satisfy the first three steps in the GKD trading system chain: GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(solo).
Overbought and oversold levels are included for a point of reference and have no bearing on the generated signals.
The signals from each of these settings are as follows:
Confirmation 1 Signal
Initial Long (L): Universal Oscillator crosses-up over zero-line*
Initial Short (S): Universal Oscillator crosses-down under zero-line*
Continuation Long (CL): Universal Oscillator is over zero-line, then crosses-up over the signal**
Continuation Short (CS): Universal Oscillator is under zero-line, then crosses-down under the signal**
Post Baseline Cross Long (BL): Universal Oscillator crossed-up over zero-line but Baseline is still in downtrend, then Baseline turns to uptrend within XX bars***
Post Baseline Cross Short (BS): Universal Oscillator crossed-down under zero-line but Baseline is still in uptrend, then Baseline turns to downtrend within XX bars***
BL Recovery Continuation Long (RL): Universal Oscillator is above zero-line. Baseline already crossed down into downtrend, then baseline crosses back up to uptrend; then, Universal Oscillator crosses-up over the signal****
BL Recovery Continuation Short (RS): Universal Oscillator is below zero-line. Baseline already crossed up into uptrend, then baseline crosses back down to downtrend; then, Universal Oscillator crosses-down under the signal****
*All signals are shown regardless of Baseline and Volatility/Volume qualification
**All signals are shown regardless of Baseline qualification; however, when Baseline filter is active, only true continuations are shown. When the Baseline filter is not active, then all continuations are shown. True continuations are when the Baseline is active and maintains its uptrend/downtrend after the initial cross-up/cross-down over the zero-line respectively. This means that if the Baseline trend then moves against the Universal Oscillator then any continuation signals are voided until another initial Long/Short. All continuations are will either show as regular continuations or be converted into recovery continuations
***All signals are shown regardless of Volatility/Volume qualification
****When the Baseline filter is active, some regular continuations are converted to recovery continuations and are shown. When the Baseline filter is not active, then these signals are not shown.
Confirmation 2 Signal
Initial Long (L): Universal Oscillator crosses-up over zero-line*
Initial Short (S): Universal Oscillator crosses-down under zero-line*

Continuation Short (CS): Universal Oscillator is under zero-line, then crosses-down under the signal**
Post Baseline Cross Long (BL): Universal Oscillator crossed-up over zero-line but Baseline is still in downtrend, then Baseline turns to uptrend within XX bars***
Post Baseline Cross Short (BS): Universal Oscillator crossed-down under zero-line but Baseline is still in uptrend, then Baseline turns to downtrend within XX bars***
BL Recovery Continuation Long (RL): Universal Oscillator is above zero-line. Baseline already crossed down into downtrend, then baseline crosses back up to uptrend while Universal Oscillator is still above zero-line; then, Universal Oscillator crosses-up over the signal****
BL Recovery Continuation Short (RS): Universal Oscillator is below zero-line. Baseline already crossed up into uptrend, then baseline crosses back down to downtrend while Universal Oscillator is still below zero-line; then, Universal Oscillator crosses-down under the signal****

Fair Value Strategy UltimateThis is a strategy using an index's (SPX, NDX, RUT) Fair Value derived from Net Liquidity.
Net Liquidity function is simply: Fed Balance Sheet - Treasury General Account - Reverse Repo Balance
Formula for calculating the fair value of and Index using Net Liquidity looks like this: net_liquidity/1000000000/scalar - subtractor
The Index Fair Value is then subtracted from the Index value which creates an oscillating diff value.
When diff is greater than the overbought threshold, Index is considered overbought and we go short/sell.
When diff is less than the oversold signal, Index is considered oversold and we cover/buy.
The net liquidity values I calculate outside of TradingView. If you'd like the strategy to work for future dates, you'll need to update the reference to my NetLiquidityLibrary , which I update daily.
Parameters:
Index: SPX, NDX, RUT
Strategy: Short Only, Long Only, Long/Short
Inverse (bool): check if using an inverse ETF to go long instead of short.
Scalar (float)
Subtractor (int)
Overbought Threshold (int)
Oversold Threshold (int)
Start After Date: When the strategy should start trading
Close Date: Day to close open trades. I just like it to get complete results rather than the strategy ending with open trades.
Optimal Parameters:
I've optimized the parameters for each index using the python backtesting library and they are as follows =>
SPX
Scalar: 1.1
Subtractor: 1425
OB Threshold: 0
OS Threshold: -175
NDX
Scalar: 0.5
Subtractor: 250
OB Threshold: 0
OS Threshold: -25
RUT
Scalar: 3.2
Subtractor: 50
OB Threshold: 25
OS Threshold: -25
